  The SAP error message SV352 ("You are changing a function group which does not belong to you") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a function group that they do not have the necessary authorization for. This is a security measure in SAP to prevent unauthorized changes to critical components of the system.

  Contact Administrator: If the user does not have the required authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  Use the Correct Development Class: Ensure that the function group is being modified in the correct development class and that the user has the necessary access to that class.
  Transport Request Management: If the function group is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is unlocked or that the user is assigned to the transport request.
